Thursday's third annual Eric Medlen Memorial Golf Tournament at Eagle Creek Golf Club and will now partially benefit the Indiana State Fair Remembrance Fund, organizer Morgan Lucas announced Tuesday.

"We've decided to take a portion of the proceeds and put it towards the families that were devastated by the horrible tragedy at the Indiana State Fair," Lucas said. "My girlfriend Katie and I were at that concert and barely missed being injured by a huge speaker stack that fell right where we were standing. We saw the damage that happened and it was a big shock.

"Our main charity, the St. Vincent Foundation and the Peyton Manning Children's Hospital, will remain the primary beneficiaries but we did want to do what we can to help the Indiana State Fair Remembrance Fund. It's something that has touched everyone in Indiana."

Lucas points out that there are still a few spots available in the tournament, a four-person scramble that has drawn stars from the NHRA, NASCAR, and NFL in the past. Individual tournament entries are $125 per golfer; players of all skill levels are welcome.

Activities at the tournament will include a ball drop, 50/50 raffle, hole-in-one prize, silent auction, and closest-to-the-pin and long-drive contests. The event begins at 10 a.m., Thursday. A cocktail hour, awards, and a live auction will follow the day's golfing.
